RESUMEN

Objectives. To evaluate the impact of a community health worker-based "in-home growth monitoring with counseling" (IHGMC) intervention on anthropometric outcomes in Pakistan, where 38% of children younger than 5 years are stunted. Methods. We used an individual, single-blind, step-wedge randomized controlled trial and a pure control group recruited at endline. We based the analysis on an intention-to-treat estimation using the coarsened exact matching (CEM) method for sample selection among treatments and the control. We conducted the baseline in July 2019 and completed endline in September-October 2021. We recruited 1639 households (treated: 1188; control: 451) with children aged 3 to 21 months who were residing in an urban informal settlement area. The CEM sample used for analysis numbered 1046 (treated: 636; control: 410). The intervention continued for 6 months. Results. Compared with the control group, the height-for-age z-score in the IHGMC group increased by 0.58 SD (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.33, 0.83; P = .001) and the weight-for-age z-score by 0.43 SD (95% CI = 0.20, 0.67; P < .01), measured at endline. Conclusions. IHGMC substantially improved child anthropometric outcomes in disadvantaged localities, and this impact persisted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Trial Registration. AER-RCT registry (AEARCTR-0003248). (Am J Public Health. 2023;113(1):105-114. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307111).

RESUMEN

This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in FABP4 concentration and hormone and metabolite levels during and after acute low- and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in healthy men. Eleven healthy men (24.4±1.4 years) were administered three trials in random order: 1) low-intensity aerobic exercise trial (LE trial; acute exercise at 40% peak oxygen uptake [Vo2peak]+bed rest), 2) moderate-intensity aerobic exercise trial (ME trial: acute exercise at 60%Vo2peak+bed rest), and 3) bed rest (Con trial). Expired gas and venous blood samples were collected at baseline, and immediately, 30 and 60 min after exercise, and substrate oxidation and hormone, metabolite, and FABP4 concentrations were measured. FABP4 concentration did not increase during aerobic exercise in LE and ME trials (p>0.05). However, FABP4 concentration significantly increased after the acute aerobic exercise in both the LE and ME trials (p≤0.003). Increased FABP4 concentration after acute exercise was not correlated with adrenaline, noradrenaline, other hormone, and metabolite concentration changes. These findings suggest that FABP4 concentration increases after acute aerobic exercise independently of exercise intensity. Furthermore, increased FABP4 concentration after acute aerobic exercise may not be involved in the magnitude of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and lipolytic response.

RESUMEN

[Purpose] The square-touch exercise is an upper-extremity exercise program that can be performed in a seated position and includes cognitive tasks. It was designed to maintain and improve cognitive function in older people. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a three-month square-touch exercise program on the cognitive and upper-extremity functions in older females. [Participants and Methods] The participants were divided into an intervention group of 15 individuals with a mean age of 78.1 ± 5.9 years and a control group of 16 individuals with a mean age of 81.7 ± 6.3 years. The intervention group participated in the square-touch exercise program once a week for three months. The mini-mental state examination, trail-making test, peg test, and grip strength were measured before and after the intervention. [Results] The intervention group showed improved mini-mental state examination scores as well as significantly improved attention and calculation, which are sub-items of the mini-mental state examination. [Conclusion] The square-touch exercise program may be effective for maintaining and improving cognitive function in older females.

RESUMEN

Immunotherapy has been shown to prolong survival in recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in front-line use; however, subsequent systemic therapy has not been optimized. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cetuximab-containing chemotherapy after immunotherapy. We retrospectively analyzed patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN who underwent cetuximab-containing regimens after progression on immunotherapy. Of the 22 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 21 received paclitaxel and cetuximab, and 1 carboplatin and fluorouracil and cetuximab after immunotherapy. Nine patients achieved a partial response, 10 patients had stable disease as their best response on cetuximab-containing chemotherapy, yielding an overall response rate and disease control rate of 40.9 and 86.4%, respectively. The median progression-free survival was 5.2 months, and the median overall survival was 14.5 months. Ten patients developed grade 3-4 adverse events, including neutropenia (31.8%), acneiform rash (9.1%), anemia (4.5%), hypertransaminasemia (4.5%) and stomatitis (4.5%). The most frequent cetuximab-related toxicities across all grades were skin reactions (77.3%), hypomagnesemia (40.9%), stomatitis (27.3%), paronychia (13.6%) and keratitis (4.5%). There was no treatment-related death. Taken together, cetuximab-containing chemotherapy was effective and feasible even after immunotherapy.

RESUMEN

There has been remarkable progress in systemic therapy for advanced lung cancer in recent years. Novel molecular targeted agents directed against oncogenic driver mutations as well as combination strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors have been continuously emerged in the clinical practice, which is driving the expansion of precision medicine. As most of these newly developed drugs and therapies were approved on the basis of global randomized studies, the robust data for the efficacy and safety focused on the Japanese patients are limited. Given that the genetic, environmental, and social backgrounds of the Japanese are different from those of Caucasians, it is questionable whether the available global data for the efficacy and safety of newly developed drugs can passively be extrapolated to the Japanese patients. In this article, we discuss the regional and racial differences of the responses or toxicity profiles of anti-cancer agents, and review the characteristics of the Japanese subgroup data in global clinical studies focusing on the following 3 different types of drugs: epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors, cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

RESUMEN

[Purpose] Square-stepping exercise is recommended for elderly people, as it has a positive effect on cognitive and physical functions; however, few studies have examined the exercise intensity of square-stepping exercise. Therefore, we aimed to examine the exercise intensity of square-stepping exercise in community-dwelling late elderly females. [Participants and Methods] Study 1: The participants, constituting 12 community-dwelling late elderly females (age: 78.7 ± 3.8 years), performed the three target step patterns. Exhaled gas, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion using the Borg Scale were measured during square-stepping exercise. Study 2: Participants were 57 community-dwelling elderly females (81.2 ± 4.3 years old). The exercise intensity, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion using the Borg Scale during square-stepping exercise were measured. [Results] Study 1: The average METs of the 3 target step patterns was 3.6 ± 0.7, and the %heart rate reserve and rating of perceived exertion were 54.3 ± 20.0% and 11.4 ± 1.9%, respectively. Study 2: The average METs during the square-stepping exercise program was 2.1 ± 0.2, and the %heart rate reserve and rating of perceived exertion were 19.6 ± 10.2% and 11.3 ± 1.4%, respectively. [Conclusion] Square-stepping exercise was confirmed to be a low to moderate intensity exercise program and is expected to improve health and physical fitness.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) has been associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Acute aerobic exercise increases circulating FABP4 concentrations, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of inhibition of lipolysis by carbohydrate ingestion on circulating FABP4 concentrations during and after acute aerobic exercise in healthy men. METHODS: Men aged between 20 and 40, with no exercise habits and no metabolic diseases, were recruited. In a randomized crossover design, the participants underwent a carbohydrate-ingestion exercise (CE) and a fasted exercise (FE) trial. The CE trial consisted of 40-min acute aerobic exercise with ingestion of carbohydrates and 60-min bed rest. The FE trial followed the same protocol as the CE trial but without carbohydrate ingestion. Venous blood samples were collected to measure hormones (adrenaline, noradrenaline, and insulin) metabolites (glycerol, free fatty acids, and glucose), and FABP4 concentrations. Ventilation and gas exchange were also collected to measure substrate oxidation. RESULTS: Thirteen healthy men participated in and completed both the CE and FE trials. The insulin concentration was more than 4 times higher in the CE trial than in the FE trial (p < 0.004, effect size [ES] > 2.00). Free fatty acid concentrations were more than 4 times lower in the CE trial than in the FE trial (p < 0.02, ES > 2.04). However, there was no significant difference in the changes in circulating FABP4 concentrations between the CE and FE trials (p = 0.108), which did not change during aerobic exercise and significantly increased post-aerobic exercise in both trials (p < 0.002, ES > 1.212). Changes in FABP4 concentrations following aerobic exercise were not significantly correlated with changes in glycerol or free fatty acid concentrations during aerobic exercise. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that suppression of lipolysis and elevation of insulin are not strongly involved in increases in FABP4 secretion following acute aerobic exercise.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUNDPrecise stratification of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is needed for appropriate application of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy.METHODSWe measured soluble forms of the immune-checkpoint molecules PD-L1, PD-1, and CTLA-4 in plasma of patients with advanced NSCLC before PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. A prospective biomarker-finding trial (cohort A) included 50 previously treated patients who received nivolumab. A retrospective observational study was performed for patients treated with any PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy (cohorts B and C), cytotoxic chemotherapy (cohort D), or targeted therapy (cohort E). Plasma samples from all patients were assayed for soluble immune-checkpoint molecules with a highly sensitive chemiluminescence-based assay.RESULTSNonresponsiveness to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy was associated with higher concentrations of these soluble immune factors among patients with immune-reactive (hot) tumors. Such an association was not apparent for patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy or targeted therapy. Integrative analysis of tumor size, PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue (tPD-L1), and gene expression in tumor tissue and peripheral CD8+ T cells revealed that high concentrations of the 3 soluble immune factors were associated with hyper or terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. The combination of soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) and sCTLA-4 efficiently discriminated responsiveness to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade among patients with immune-reactive tumors.CONCLUSIONCombinations of soluble immune factors might be able to identify patients unlikely to respond to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade as a result of terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. Our data suggest that such a combination better predicts, along with tPD-L1, for the response of patients with NSCLC.TRIAL REGISTRATIONUMIN000019674.FUNDINGThis study was funded by Ono Pharmaceutical Co.

RESUMEN

Introduction: The clinical relevance of soluble forms of programmed cell death-1 (sPD-1) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (sPD-L1) remains unclear. We here investigated the relation between the efficacy of PD-1 blockade and pretreatment plasma levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 across a broad range of cancer types. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 171 patients with advanced solid tumors who received nivolumab or pembrolizumab monotherapy regardless of treatment line. The concentrations of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 were measured with a fully automated immunoassay (HISCL system). Results: The study subjects comprised patients with head and neck cancer (n = 50), urothelial cancer (n = 42), renal cell cancer (n = 37), gastric cancer (n = 20), esophageal cancer (n = 10), malignant pleural mesothelioma (n = 6), or microsatellite instability-high tumors (n = 6). High or low levels of sPD-1 or sPD-L1 were not significantly associated with progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) for PD-1 blockade in the entire study population. Comparison of treatment outcomes according to combinations of high or low sPD-1 and sPD-L1 levels, however, revealed that patients with low sPD-1 and high sPD-L1 concentrations had a significantly poorer PFS (HR of 1.79 [95% CI, 1.13-2.83], p = 0.01) and a tendency toward poorer OS (HR of 1.70 [95% CI, 0.99-2.91], p = 0.05) compared with all other patients. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the combination of low sPD-1 and high sPD-L1 levels is a potential negative biomarker for PD-1 blockade therapy.

RESUMEN

Background: Proper management of chemotherapy-related gastrointestinal toxicities is essential to maximize therapeutic outcome for malignancies. Gastroparesis is an onerous syndrome characterized by delayed gastric emptying without gastrointestinal obstruction, but this has not been recognized as chemotherapy-related complication in solid malignancies. Here, we describe a case of gastroparesis possibly caused by neurotoxicity of taxane and platinum-based high-intensity chemotherapy against solid cancer. Case Description: A 73-year-old male was diagnosed with stage IVA oropharyngeal cancer (cT4N2bM0) as a cause of swallowing difficulty. As a curative treatment of the oropharyngeal cancer, induction chemotherapy with the regimen of docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil (TPF) was initiated with nutritional support by nasogastric tube feeding. Then, this case was complicated with late-onset gastric dysmotility as evidenced by abnormally dilated stomach even after cessation of feeding for more than a few days. After a careful exclusion of other diseases that could cause gastric dysmotility, we eventually diagnosed chemotherapy-induced gastroparesis as a cause of his symptom. Notably, this refractory gastroparesis was successfully controlled with 5-HT4 agonist, mosapride, resulting in recovery of gastric motility and safe completion of the subsequent curative treatment. Conclusions: Despite its rarity in patients with solid cancers, it is important to note chemotherapy-induced gastroparesis because delay in its management can be detrimental to their survival outcome. Thus, oncologists should consider gastroparesis in evaluating persistent upper abdominal symptoms after neurotoxic chemotherapies for solid cancer.

RESUMEN

Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are considered orphan neoplasms, and treatment options for recurrent or metastatic stages are limited. Here, we have reported a case of recurrent TET that showed complete remission after receiving high-dose corticosteroids followed by low-dose corticosteroids and cyclosporine. No recurrence was observed for the next 2 years. The effects of corticosteroids on the TET and the associated pure red cell aplasia led to adjustment of the diagnosis from thymic carcinoma to thymoma. Low-dose corticosteroids and cyclosporine might be the reason for remission maintenance.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Tumour burden (TB) is implicated in resistance to programmed cell death-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (immune checkpoint inhibitor [ICI]) therapy. However, whether TB contributes to such resistance in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has remained unknown. METHODS: A total of 260 treatment-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC who started ICI monotherapy (ICI cohort), platinum-doublet therapy (Chemo cohort) or ICI and platinum-doublet therapy (ICI+Chemo cohort) as first-line treatment were consecutively included. TB was estimated on the basis of the sum of the diameters of measurable target lesions as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours. Progression-free survival (PFS) in the ICI cohort was evaluated as per TB as a preplanned primary objective, with the analysis based on propensity score-weighted survival curves and estimation of restricted mean survival time (RMST). The Chemo cohort served as a control to determine whether TB is predictive of ICI treatment outcomes. The ICI+Chemo cohort was exploratory. The relation of TB to tumour immune status was assessed by immune-related gene expression profiling (irGEP) of pretreatment tumour tissue. RESULTS: In the ICI cohort, patients with a low TB showed a significantly longer PFS than did those with a high TB (median, 17.9 vs 4.3 months; weighted hazard ratio, 0.32 [95% confidence interval, 0.19-0.53]). No such difference was apparent in the other cohorts. A significant difference in overall survival was also observed only in the ICI cohort. RMST-based analysis confirmed these results. The irGEP analysis implicated M2-type macrophages, angiogenesis and transforming growth factor-ß as well as protumourigenic signalling pathways in ICI resistance conferred by a high TB. CONCLUSION: A high TB was associated with a poor outcome of ICI therapy for advanced NSCLC as a result of immunosuppressive phenotypes. Development of combination or novel treatment strategies for such disease is thus warranted.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Circulating fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a marker for various diseases. It would be highly useful to have simple and less invasive techniques for the assessment of FABP4 concentrations in the clinical research setting. The purpose of the present study was to assess the concordance of circulating FABP4 concentrations in venous and capillary blood both at rest and immediately after acute exercise in healthy young males. RESULTS: Thirty-eight healthy young male adults aged from 19 to 25 years (mean age, 20.8 ± 1.2 years) were recruited. Paired blood samples were taken from the cubital vein (venous) and fingertip (capillary) blood at rest (resting state) and immediately after incremental exercise (exercising state). Blood samples were analyzed to determine the circulating FABP4 concentration using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Pearson's correlation coefficients for circulating FABP4 concentrations between venous and capillary blood samples indicated a strong positive correlation in both the resting and exercising state (resting state: r = 0.982, exercising state: r = 0.989, both p < 0.001). The mean FABP4 concentration was similar between venous and capillary blood in the resting state (p = 0.178), whereas it was significantly higher in capillary blood than in venous blood in the exercising state (p < 0.001). Furthermore, Bland-Altman plots showed a non-significant bias (- 0.07 ± 0.61 ng/mL, p = 0.453) in the resting state, whereas a significant bias (- 0.45 ± 0.61 ng/mL, p < 0.001) was observed in the exercising state. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that capillary blood sampling can slightly overestimate circulating FABP4 concentrations under a physiologically dynamic state. However, the association between the venous and capillary blood in terms of FABP4 concentration was very strong, suggesting that capillary blood sampling can detect changes in FABP4 concentration in both physiologically steady and dynamic states.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND/AIM: This study aimed to seek clinical biomarkers of nivolumab monotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) of which efficacy is limited. We focused on Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), which reflects systemic inflammatory and nutritional status as well as disease control by chemotherapy immediately before nivolumab (DCBC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: AGC patients with measurable lesions who were treated with nivolumab in the third- or later-line were included. DCBC was defined as a best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response, stable disease, or non-CR/non-progressive disease achieved by chemotherapy immediately before nivolumab. RESULTS: Eighty patients were analyzed. Among the various clinical factors, multivariable analysis revealed that a GPS of 2 was significantly associated with a shorter overall survival and DCBC was significantly associated with a longer progression-free survival. CONCLUSION: We present the potential of GPS and DCBC as efficient biomarkers of nivolumab for AGC, that warrants further evaluation.

RESUMEN

We collected and completely sequenced 28,469 full-length complementary DNA clones from Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare. Through homology searches of publicly available sequence data, we assigned tentative protein functions to 21,596 clones (75.86%). Mapping of the cDNA clones to genomic DNA revealed that there are 19,000 to 20,500 transcription units in the rice genome. Protein informatics analysis against the InterPro database revealed the existence of proteins presented in rice but not in Arabidopsis. Sixty-four percent of our cDNAs are homologous to Arabidopsis proteins.
